I am in aooord wi th the propo sed establ i shment
ot refugee reeoue camps i n the United States to provi de
temporary haven t or unfortunate persona who have had to
tlee Na%.1 Europe. It is my understanding that the pro
posed plan doee not contempla t e admission of these per
eons as permanent re sidents unless they qual ity through
regular i mmigration pr ocedure .
It i s an act or humani ty, and should r esult i n
f riendly sentiment t or America in f oreign coun t ries
when the war ie over.
yours,
